My thinking was to move both NAnt/NAntContrib to a non-CVS repo at the same time. Hopefully, this process will bring the projects closer together in scope so we don't have a lag on one side or another. > > I'd like to see <nunit2> > either get to 2.5.10 or spun off as a separate project.

Like I stated in a previous email today, I couldn't get to it during 0.91 development because of the amount of effort needed to update NAnt to use the new NUnit API. > > I'd like to also throw in my > vote to get <msbuild> moved from NAntContrib to NAnt.

IIRC, the <msbuild> task needs some more effort before being ported over. I know there was work done around VS.NET/msbuild during the 0.91 release cycle but I am not sure how much of that effort related to the NAntContrib <msbuild> task.
I was planning on approaching this now anyway. One of the things I would like to work on is some kind of sandcastle task for doc building but it would probably have to rely on that <msbuild> task. > > +1 on moving to .net 2 and > generics, and a standard #define net_4 release would also be awesome. I thought we had the net_4.0 preprocessing tag in NAnt already, unless I am misunderstanding you here. > > How can I help? Love the enthusiasm! :) Speak up and be heard. I try to read these messages as much as I can so any input/advice/suggestions you or anyone else may have, please chime in. We welcome it. :) I'm hoping to get a more up-to-date contribution guide going once we make a decision on the cvs repo situation. I'll post it once we get there. :) Thanks, Ryan > > Rob > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the > demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly. > Take a complimentary Learning@Cisco Self-Assessment and learn > about Cisco certifications, training, and career opportunities. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/cisco-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > nant-developers mailing list > nant-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
